      Bayer HealthCare is the place to work if you don't care about the salary and career growth opportunities.

      Pros

      Respect for the people, a diversified environment to work and a fair support for the work / life balance, my working schedule is flexible. The reason for working at Bayer HealthCare is the constant training that gives you opportunities in enhancing your own working area's skills and Bayer HealthCare also gives you freedom in choosing additional lessons of your own interest. As Bayer HealthCare is in pharmaceutical industry, you can expect a relatively safe working place among other industries when there's a economic crisis, but it doesn't mean Bayer won't fire anybody, it's just a huge massive layoff is unlikely to happen.

      Cons

      No benefit, not enough salary, no compensation at all.

      Pros

      Bayer has accumulated great people from all over the CPG/OTC industry and put them together in one place. The culture is supportive and one can almost always assume positive intent. Great pains are taken to ensure continued employee growth and development. Random firings or layoffs are unimaginable, and the comapny reorganizations take place less frequently than at competitors and with less attrition.

      Cons

      The great culture and low turnover allow the company to underpay vs other consumer pharma and make it more difficult to advance. Many departments are top-heavy. The company is slow to get rid of employees who are on the wrong bus, despite how obvious it may be to those around them.

      Use to be the best place to work for women.

      Pros

      Bayer use to be very people oriented. The maternity benefits use to be the best in the country and written as the best place for women to work by Fortune 500. The awards program and bonuses at Bayer are great. Recognition for work above and beyond is common. Promotions were available as well as making lateral moves. Career opportunities were made available. Benefits were also very good at the start. Employee morale use to be very good. Was a great place to work at least until the acquisition. People were treated with fairness and respect. I thought it would be the best place to retire.

      Cons

      The acquisition has been very difficult. Employee morale went down once sites began to close and people started to get laid off. Was very stressful and unhappy environment to work. The benefits started to be reduced, especially the maternity benefits.
